The Latest Travel Guidance For Mexico's Premier Tourist Destinations
When it comes to the popular tourist destination of Mexico, the U.S. State Department continues to issue travel advisory levels by state rather than one all-encompassing piece of guidance.
It's true that some states pose more of a threat to travelers than others and many safety concerns center on potential crime. However, it's also true that the vast majority of Mexico's premier tourist destinations are safe for visitors who practice common sense and heed the advice of local officials.
Keep in mind the Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution) travel advisory is the most common for countries around the world, whether related to crime, terrorism or civil unrest.
There are currently no restrictions on travel for U.S. government employees in Quintana Roo but "personnel are advised to exercise increased situational awareness after dark in downtown areas of Cancun, Tulum, and Playa del Carmen, and to remain in well-lit pedestrian streets and tourist zones."
The Mexican military has guaranteed safety for travelers to Cancun but travelers should always "maintain a high level of situational awareness, avoid areas where illicit activities occur and promptly depart from potentially dangerous situations," officials advise.
Cancun has also stepped up beach safety ahead of the high season but tourists are encouraged to follow the direction of lifeguards and the destination's color-coded flag system.
Los Cabos
The State Department advises travelers to exercise increased caution in Baja California Sur due to crime but there are no restrictions on travel for U.S. government employees in the state, which is best known for the beloved resort destination of Los Cabos.
Yucatan
Visitors to Mexico's Yucatan state can exercise normal precautions this winter. That's good news since the region is enhancing connectivity to the U.S. with new flights originating from major cities.
